OAKLAND – The Warriors have three lethal shooters and only one ball. So how do they make sure Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson get their touches without making the other two feel jealous?

Quite well, actually. The Warriors (19-9) enter Wednesday’s game against the Toronto Raptors (22-7) with Curry, Durant and Thompson all averaging 19.7 shot attempts per game. No wonder Durant said, “I love the way we play.”

“Evenly distributed among the best shooters and scorers on the team,” Durant said without any hint of surprise following morning shootaround on Wednesday. “I think that’s also a huge credit to our teammates that set screens and pass to us and allow us to be who we are out there. I don’t see that changing.”

Granted, there are some extra layers behind the numbers. When Curry missed 11 games this season because of a strained left groin, both Durant (23.5) and Thompson (22.5) averaged more attempts than their regular-season average. Durant took a team-leading 31 shots in a loss to Toronto on Nov. 29 and Thompson had a team-leading 31 shots in an overtime loss to the Clippers on Nov. 12.

But that does not diminish the story behind the Warriors’ three stars averaging the same number of shots per game.

“It’s right on brand with who we are as players. We get them up and try to be effective as scorers as much as possible,” Durant said. “That’s how it rolls out sometimes. That is pretty weird to see the same exact shots. But that’s how we play and it’s the flow of the game. I’m sure it’ll stay that way.”

Curry has averaged 30.1 points while shooting 51.3 percent from the field and 50 percent from 3-point range, and his teammates believe he can sustain that quality of perimeter shooting. Durant has mostly improved his marks recently from the perimeter in the past three games against Minnesota (4 of 7), Milwaukee (1 of 6) and Cleveland (4 of 7), citing improvement in holding his follow through longer and reducing his fadeaways. Still, Durant jokingly told a reporter, “don’t jinx me; let me relax and chill.”

Meanwhile, Thompson has averaged 22 points while shooting 44.1 percent from the field and 43.8 percent since Curry’s return in the past five games. That marks a vast improvement from when he had mixed efficiency from the field (46.5 percent) and from 3-point range (36.6) in 14 games in November. Or when Thompson opened the first seven regular-season games going a combined 44 of 111 from the field (39.6 percent) and 5 of 36 from the perimeter (13.9 percent). That slump subsided, though, when Thompson broke Curry’s NBA record for most 3-pointers in a game against Chicago on Oct. 29, hitting 14 of 18 shots from beyond the arc and 29 attempts overall.

Therefore, the Warriors break out of shooting quotas to ride the hot hand. Otherwise, they worry more about moving the ball than figuring out who is touching it.
